Beaufort honors heroes of 9/11 New
hotels coming to city
By Bob Sofaly
A few hundred of Beaufort’s faithful braved threatening skies on Sept. 11 to attend the 9/11 observance at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. The day marked the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in New York City, the Pentagon and the downing of United Flight 93 in Pennsylvania. Schools throughout the area also marked the day. At Beaufort Academy, students placed over 2,500 flags on the grounds of the school in memory of those killed in the attacks. Additionally, every morning the fourth grade raises the school flag, and the entire BA community joined in saying the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer while they raised the flag during the remembrance ceremony. “It was a heartwarming moment,” said Lisa Gallagher, director of communications and special events. “It is truly a special moment here at BA, and for the Beaufort community.”

Two big-name hotels – a Hilton and a Marriott – and several other smaller hotels will soon be coming to Beaufort. The attention that Beaufort is getting from these big brands is reflective of the community’s potential. “Our view is that they do their homework” and recognize that potential, said said Bill Prokop, Beaufort town manager. Smaller, independent projects are also on the agenda. To date, those properties are: • Springhill Suites at 2227 Boundary. The existing Econolodge will be removed to make a home for the new Springhill Suites. Belonging to the Marriott Hotel Group, the property will be all suites. • Home2 by Hilton at 12 County Shed Road. A new 107 all-suite, extended stay hotel. A higher-end property in the Hilton line, the rooms are apartment-like. At the May 12 meeting of the Design Review Board, Tom Michaels, project architect, said that the hotel would feature a connection to the Spanish Moss Trail. Libby Anderson, planning director, said it would also provide “a node for commercial development in this area.” • Scott/Port Republic Street Hotel. On the agenda for consideration by the Historic District Review Board on Wednesday, Sept. 17, was a new 70-unit, three-story hotel with commercial space on the ground floor and parking under the building. The Scott/Port Republic Street hotel, proposed by 303 Associates, would be located on the southwest corner of Port Republic and Scott streets. • Beaufort Inn Cottage, 310 Scott St. The proposal to construct a new cottage house between 208 and 301 Scott for the Beaufort Inn was considered at the Historical Review Board’s June meeting.

POLICE BLOTTER Seven people killed over Labor Day weekend
Seven people were killed on South Carolina roadways during the Labor Day weekend from Sept. 2-5, according to the South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS). There were nine fatalities during the 2015 Labor Day period. Additionally, SCDPS reported a preliminary number of 268 traffic deaths during the “100 Deadly Days of Summer,” compared to 271 during the same time frame in 2015. This period runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. As of Sept. 5, 653 people have died on South Carolina highways, compared to 649 highway deaths during the same time period in 2015. Of the 420 motor vehicle occupants who have died in 2016, 200 were not wearing safety belts.
Police: Residents should beware of phone call scam
The Bluffton Police Department is warning residents about a telephone scam. Several residents have told police a person is calling a home, cell phone or business, saying they represent the IRS. The caller then tells the resident they owe back taxes, and if they aren’t paid, an officer will arrest them. The scammer then states the late balance can be settled by buying an iTunes or Target gift card in the amount owed. “What is concerning, somehow the Bluffton Police Department phone number is appearing on the residents’ caller IDs who are receiving these calls,” said Bluffton Police Chief Joey Reynolds. “We want the public to know the Bluffton Police Department will not call you on behalf of another agency and threaten to arrest you if a payment isn’t made.” According to IRS.gov, the IRS will never call to demand immediate payment; demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount; require you to use a specific payment method; or threaten to bring in local police or other law enforcement groups to make an arrest. People who receive a phone call like this should hang up and call the IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting phone number at 1-800-3664484 and also report it to the Federal Trade Commission at www.FTC.gov.

IN OTHER NEWS NEWS BRIEFS DNR: Shrimp-baiting season is now open
The 2016 shrimp-baiting season in South Carolina waters opened on Sept. 9. Recreational shrimpers who purchase a shrimp-baiting license can legally cast their nets for shrimp over bait during this season. Shrimp-baiting season lasts 60 days and will remain open until noon Tuesday, Nov. 8. S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) biologists reported especially high shrimp numbers in spring 2016 following a warm winter, and a similarly strong fall crop of white shrimp, the offspring of the spring season, is expected. “Given the relatively mild water temperatures we experienced this past winter, the high abundance of white roe shrimp we started the season with, and the very encouraging results of our ongoing inshore crustacean monitoring efforts, the shrimp fishery this fall has all the makings of a very productive one,” said Mel Bell, director of DNR’s Office of Fisheries Management. “This will be good news for both the commercial fleet who work in our nearshore waters as well as the recreational shrimping community fishing in shallower estuarine waters. If all of the current trends hold, this could be a very good year for shrimping in South Carolina.” Resident shrimp-baiting licenses cost $25, and non-resident licenses cost $500. Licenses can be applied for online at dnrlicensing. sc.gov or by phone at 1-866-714-3611. The catch limit is 48 quarts of shrimp measured heads-on (or 29 quarts headsoff ) per boat or set of poles per day, and each boat is limited to a set of 10 poles. When taking shrimp over bait, no cast net may be used having a mesh smaller than one half-inch square measure or one-inch stretch measure. For more information on shrimp-baiting regulations, visit www.dnr.sc.gov/regs/ shrimp/shrimpregs.html.

BUSINESS
Business succession: Questions you need to ask Do you have a business succession plan? Life-changing events or retirement can bring on some tough choices. It’s not unusual for business owners to find a majority of their wealth tied up in their company. This is often a major provider for them and their families. But when the time comes to sell their businesses, many owners often have not thought about how they would replace that important chunk of income. Business succession can be an emotional, financial and timing issue for business owners. If you own your own business and are considering a business succession plan, there are five questions you should address with your financial advisor. Together you will want to ensure you have a plan in place to help reduce the risks associated with one of your most important assets. What other assets have you set aside to help fund your retirement? Should you rely on your business alone to fund retirement? Just as your investments should be diversified, so should your assets. Though it may be difficult to do in a business climate, as a business owner you should save and build your retirement savings plan away from the business to work toward your retirement goals.
Have you considered whether your business is an asset you can sell? Whether or not you can find a buyer for your business depends on a variety of factors. Are there employees or partners who James Garner could continue to run the business after you retire? Will your business attract outside buyers? For example, companies that produce tangible goods and have positive cash flows can often be sold. On the other hand, specialty firms that rely on you and your skills alone, such as boutique consulting firms, are generally not salable. The truth is most businesses fall somewhere in between. If you were to sell your business and pay the taxes on your gains, would the proceeds be enough to last for the rest of your life? It’s important to determine if you expect a similar level of income in retirement that you now enjoy from your business. As a business owner, you likely work very hard and your dedicated efforts are an important ingredient to your business success. The investment returns from your growing business may well exceed the investment re-
turns from a prudent investment portfolio. In the long run, however, the income derived from your valuable work ethic simply may not be replaceable. Business owners are often optimists by nature, and they take risks to grow their business. The risk of putting all your eggs in one basket may not work as well, however, when it comes time to build an investment portfolio. What happens if you cannot be involved in running your business? Stories abound about business owners who are struck down by illness, death or disability, leaving business partners and spouses to figure out what comes next. If more than one partner or shareholder is involved in your business, it is important to have a buy-sell agreement in place. A buysell is a written agreement between two or more owners of a business. If a triggering event occurs, one or more owners will have the right or obligation to buy the business interest from the owner who is obligated to sell. Triggering events often include the death, divorce or disability of a partner or shareholder. The agreement may establish a funding mechanism to facilitate the purchase of an owner’s interest in such cases.
Do you have a plan in place that will allow you to retire regardless of a sale? You may not be able to sell your business at the precise time you wish to sell. Planning for succession in a small business should be a top priority. Begin with the objectives you want to achieve, and talk through these concerns with your financial advisor. Together you can build a plan, then work on getting the capital and the agreements in place to transition your business when the time is right or when life events require succession in your business.

Study looks at development’s impact on coastal ecosystem A recent study by DNR, USC and the College of Charleston looked at nutrient runoff associated with development and whether it might make the coastal ecosystem more susceptible to algal blooms. Some algal bloom species can produce toxins that may threaten public and environmental health. A recent study published in “Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science” takes a look at some of the ways in which that growth is affecting local waterways. Working over two years to study four coastal sites, a team of S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR), University of South Carolina (USC), and College of Charleston biologists found that the level of development surrounding a waterway significantly impacted its microbial community – and its vulnerability to algal blooms. "The big picture question of this study is, as land development increases, how might nutrient runoff associated with development affect algal community composition? Does it make the ecosystem more or less susceptible to algal blooms?" said principal investigator Dianne Greenfield, who holds a joint appointment with DNR and USC. "One of the suggestions of this work is that as development increases, the likelihood of algal blooms – including blooms that contain harmful species – is exacerbated." Phytoplankton are single-celled microscopic organisms that live in bodies of water and form the base of aquatic food webs. Usually, a balanced mix of several phytoplankton species are found in waterways. But sometimes, particularly in systems with high nutrient levels, certain phytoplankton species proliferate to very high levels. Some, called “harmful algal bloom” species, can even produce toxins that may threaten public and environmental health. A significant body of research has looked at the impacts of too much nitrogen, which can come from sources such as fertilizer or animal waste runoff, on water systems. But few studies have looked at the impacts of excess nitro-
gen on algal community composition across a range of land uses. That's what's unique about the present study, Greenfield said. Lead author Michelle Reed, a recent alumna of the graduate program in Marine Biology at College of Charleston, ran 32 different experiments across four distinct sites in coastal South Carolina. The research sites were each chosen to represent different levels of development, ranging from a forested tidal creek in the ACE Basin (least developed) to a stormwater detention pond in a residential/golf course area (most developed). A creek in a mixed forest/agricultural area and an urbanized tidal creek were also used for lower and higher-impacted land uses, respectively. Between 2011 and 2013, the team conducted experiments at each site by collecting water in bottles then spiking the bottles with different forms and combinations of nitrogen and phosphorous in order to simulate the effects of nutrient enrichment (i.e., fertilizers or other urban runoff ). The researchers then kept the bottles at the site so that algae experienced their natural environmental conditions. After two days, the experimental bottles were transported to the laboratory, where the researchers looked at the nutrient chemistry and phytoplankton communities in each sample. The results were a portrait in miniature of what each waterway might look like after an influx of nitrogen or phosphorous, and the findings were clear: in the urbanized creek and detention pond locations, phytoplankton grew more rapidly and were more likely to harbor harmful algal bloom species. The phytoplankton communities from the less-developed sites were more resilient. "The response patterns of phytoplankton are really shaped by the way the land use differs," Greenfield said. She hopes the findings from this and related studies could aid in that process of developing thresholds for nutrient levels in estuaries.

A dog’s happiness leads to successful business
The River Happy team shows off the brand’s new display at Grayco Hardware and Home.
Marjorie Gray’s dog, River, is the inspiration behind River Happy and its logo.
By Kat Walsh
It’s amazing what our pets have to teach us, if only we would listen. Fortunately, Marjorie Gray listened to her flat-coated retriever, River. Sitting on her in-law’s dock on the Beaufort River one afternoon, she watched River launch himself into the water over and over again, ears back, tail wagging, tongue flying. “His enthusiasm was inspiring; the simplicity was magic,” said Gray. “It just clicked and River Happy was born.” River Happy, a lifestyle brand inspired by the unleashed happiness of Gray’s dog, River, sells apparel, totes and hats with a variety of themes and messages: Southern loyalty, friendship loyalty and team loyalty. There’s even a series of “River Says” T-shirts at stores from Beaufort to Hilton Head and beyond.
Gray said that the unifying theme – and the heart of the River Happy brand – is being thankful for the things that make us smile, and loyal to those who bring us joy. “We do our best to make high quality products that highlight our passion points and honor our interests,” she said. Saying Gray is a Beaufortonian is a bit of an understatement: Her grandfather, Angus Fordham, was mayor of Beaufort for 17 years; her father, Paul Trask, was one of Beaufort’s most significant real estate developers, and her husband, Herb Gray, is the president of Grayco Hardware. Growing up, Gray and her husband both attended Beaufort Academy, and the couple has stayed involved with the school as active alumni, board members and involved parents. Her youngest, Leith, is a sev-
enth-grader at Beaufort Academy, while her two oldest children, Hope, 17, and Herbert, 15, both attend Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Va. River Happy is the latest endeavor in Gray’s impressive and wide-ranging professional trajectory. After completing dental training at MUSC in 1997, she practiced as a general dentist for seven years with Dr. Gene Grace. “What I miss most about dentistry is my patients,” said Gray. “You get to know people really well when you are that close!” Once her children were a bit older, Gray moved on to launch the home decor department at Grayco Hardware on Lady’s Island. “I was elated when Grayco Hardware moved into the new space on Hilton Head, which included a home decor department,” she said. “And I felt a bit of ac-
complishment when they added the 'Home' to Grayco Hardware and Home.” For seven years, Gray went to the markets for Grayco as a buyer, and was always inspired by the experience. “I knew I wanted to start a business of my own and had been thinking about it for a while.” So when she watched her dog River that one particular afternoon, she was ready for the lesson River was ready to teach. Gray’s philosophy is to work hard, go places, do things and "find your happy." After all, she says, “River Happy is not just a brand, but a state of mind.” With an assistant and a buyer working for her, Gray focuses on the creative side of the business: design, strategy, promotion and market plans. “There is always something to do and most days I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day.” Currently, the brand is available
at Grayco Hardware and Gray says they are in the process of setting up on online store so that customers can purchase products directly from the website. And the brand is growing beyond Beaufort and the Lowcountry. Recently, River Happy was well received in Atlanta, bringing the company brand new attention and new representation in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and the Dakotas. “It has been a big change to go from buyer to wholesaler,” said Gray. “It’s a challenge every day because there are so many great companies out there to compete with.” But despite the challenges, Gray has never second-guessed her decision to take on the world of branded apparel. It was just simply the right thing to do. “That day on the dock I was reminded of what my mother always said: Dogs have so many lessons to teach,” said Gray. Whether it's a simple pleasure or a big splash … find your happy. Visit riverhappy.com.
Artwork of Lowcountry reminds us of local beauty Now what?
HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS
Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
ever we traveled. But now living here and getting invited into other people’s homes, we started to see a totally different assortment of paintings. We have some close friends whose collection includes both oil paintings and watercolors of blue herons in the marsh. It is incredible to look at these paintings and comprehend the work that went into capturing the blue heron’s details.
We have also admired the artists who have conveyed the beauty of shrimp boats out on the horizon with their “arms” spread out, especially at sunrise. So, we have started to collect our own Lowcountry art now. The first painting purchased was a watercolor by a local Gullah artist. The vibrant colors, depicting a woman with her straw baskets, are incredible.
Then our neighbor Beth, a local artist, sold us a painting of Jenkins Creek and the marshes beyond. The way she painted the colors of the reeds, from lime green to forest green, is amazing. And recently, one of the Nancy Hammond pieces had to be moved to make way for another piece of local artwork. There are still many wonderful local sailboat paintings, but we are finding ourselves drawn to the artwork that is unique to the Lowcountry. It might include rows of oak trees lining old dirt roads; or maybe white egrets standing in the high grass; it might be the sun setting behind one of our bridges; or a lonely cottage standing on stilts on the beach. Regardless, these are the Lowcountry paintings that will slowly fill my home.

When we first got married in the 1970s, our home was decorated with posters from that era. No, not Farrah Fawcett – more like The America’s Cup. The limited collection was very popular with our contemporaries as we all had one thing in common: a lack of money. Through the years, as our income level increased, the artwork improved. Living in Annapolis, Md., had a big impact on the art we purchased. The fact that we both sailed was also a driving force. We had our favorites. I leaned towards Nancy Hammond with her silkscreen prints and lithograph posters of sailboats. My husband went for Willard Bond and the oil and watercolor paintings of sailboat racing. Regardless, the house started filling up as we found ourselves buying local art where-

Group goes ‘loco’ for pink flamingos A fun and potentially record-setting addition to one of the Lowcountry’s most successful fundraisers has already led to much-needed help for one local charity. Organizers of the fifth annual LoCo Motion 3-Day Breast Cancer Event recently launched a social media-focused campaign involving the event’s unofficial mascot, Fancy the Flamingo. Fancy was bird-napped after last year’s LoCo Motion event. Now, a group of shockingly benevolent bandits (and survivors) are demanding a $50,000 ransom for Fancy, and that all the money be donated to pay for free mammograms. To set Fancy free, LoCo Motion founder Laura Morgan launched the Flocks of Love campaign, asking 1,000 people to donate $50 apiece. Each donation pays for one mammogram and each donor will sponsor one plastic replica of Fancy.
“Fancy is our inspiration, and it’s an amazing win-win to get her back and be able to fund a mammogram,” Morgan said. “The reception has been amazing and we wanted to show her captors that the ransom money is going into the community immediately.” Morgan received a call from officials from Volunteers in Medicine, a Hilton Headbased nonprofit comprised of health care
staffers providing free health care to those in need around the Lowcountry. VIM had not received its regular funding from one of their national supporters and was struggling to provide breast care to patients. The organization wanted to make sure LoCo Motion would still be donating after this year’s event, to be held Sept. 22-25. Morgan and LoCo Motion supporters did one better. Thanks to Flocks of Love supporters, VIM received a $9,000 check from LoCo Motion. “This is a local movement that benefits local heroes that are helping survivors fight the breast cancer battle,” Morgan said. “There’s no reason to hold funding until after the event. If we can help people and save lives now, that’s what we’re going to do.” Morgan and LoCo Motion volunteers are hoping this is just the first of many donations that will be spawned from Flocks of Love.
To spur on potential donors, LoCo Motion plans on setting a Guinness World Record with its giant flock of 1,000 plastic pink flamingos. “We need our local community to support LoCo Motion. The event is bringing 1,600 people from 46 states and nine countries. They spend money, they have a fabulous experience and they return with more people the following year,” Morgan said. “Our event also donates over $100,000 to local breast care programs,” she said. “So it is important that the local community understand LoCo’s impact and support us. You don’t have to lace up and get sweaty with us — just adopt one of our flamingos and be part of history!” To join the Fancy flock, go online to www. dothemotion.org/donate.

In Davis’ “Greywycke,” Lady Kaline de Belmar must choose between family expectations and her own desire, all while finding inner strength she never knew she had. Taking place in the early 1800s, near the Welsh Marches, this suspenseful murder-mystery novel combines the familial duties and traditions of “Downton Abbey” with the drama and scheming characters of a daytime soap opera. “This book explores family dynamics we all encounter,” Davis said. “While we all may not be born of nobility, we can all relate to polarizing family relationships and the
need to follow our own destinies.” “Greywikcke” is available on at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and iUniverse • Dr. Eugene Alvarez and Dr. Leo J. Daugherty III, “Parris Island: "The Cradle of the Corps” In order to understand both the purpose and intent of Marine Corps Recruit Training since 1915, the authors have written a study of the Marine Corps' premier training base Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. “Parris Island: "The Cradle of the Corps” (published by Xlibris) examines the evolutionary nature of Marine Corps recruit training since 1915 and how it has shaped the Marine Corps role as an expeditionary force-in readiness. The original 1983 manuscript, written by Eugene Alvarez, who is the primary author of this book,
included the years 1562-1983. The current and revised manuscript was edited and updated by Leo J. Daugherty, in cooperation with the primary author, and covers the years 1997-2015, including chapter six, dealing with recruit training in the 1920s and 1930s, which was a part of his doctoral dissertation at Ohio State University. This book reflects not only the history of Parris Island but of both the Marine Corps and United States during the 20th and 21st centuries. It shows how the Marine Corps has responded to the ever-growing demands of modern warfare through its training of Marines, and how that training has continued to shape its mission as an “expeditionary force-in readiness.” “Parris Island: "The Cradle of the Corps” is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

FUNDRAISERS
BA program raises funds for St. Jude’s
The annual Beaufort Academy Football Touchdowns Against Cancer Campaign to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is underway. “This opportunity is very special to me,” said Scott Richards, BA football head coach. “In 1994 and 1995, as a 20-something year old football player at East Carolina University I was fortunate enough to be a part of a team that was selected to play in the Liberty Bowl. … Part of the Liberty Bowl experience is that every player is invited to visit the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and meet some of the most courageous kids on this planet. … I will tell you that once you visit a kid’s room that is battling for his/her life and you see them light up when you enter the room as if you are the greatest thing they have ever seen, you begin to think of the game of football in a whole different light. “So, as this year’s football season approached I was presented this unique opportunity to share my St. Jude’s experience with my football team and join MaxPreps (High School Sports website) and Pledge. com to again give back to this amazing place.”
The coach is asking friends, family, fans and the community to help raise more than $3,000 for St. Jude’s. To contribute anything from $1 and up, visit www.pledgeit.org/tac16-beaufort-academy-eagles-beaufort-sc. Donations must be made by Thursday, Sept. 15.

A year of planning, development and plain old hard work by a team of students at the University of South Carolina Beaufort culminated in a fresh, new website for the Penn Center in July. Now the team is already planning to develop a new website for a second client, the Heritage Library Foundation on Hilton Head Island. Working closely with Victoria Smalls, director of Development and Marketing, and Mariah Robinson, a former intern at Penn Center, Dr. Brian Canada began researching the 100 most-effective nonprofit websites to find appropriate examples to emulate.

SCE&G surcharge short-circuits Beaufort's jobs initiative South Carolina Utilities
Cost per kWh residential rates 2006-2016
Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008. Email Bill at TheRauchReport@gmail.com.
pher.cfm?t=epmt_5_6_a reflects the statewide average; and although South Carolina is high among the South Atlantic states at 12.68 cents per kilowatthour (kWh), it is, in fact, still lower than all the New England states. The reader’s point is hereby acknowledged. But here’s the thing: SCE&G’s current residential base rate is 14.37 cents per kWh, which makes it higher than the blended base rate of any state in the Southeast and in fact, Chart 5.6A shows, the closest states that have higher blended base rates are Maryland to the north, Michigan to the northwest, and California to the west. That’s bad. Then add to SCE&G’s sky-high rate the city of Beaufort’s 2-percent surcharge on top of the standard 5-percent franchise fee and you have an actual residential rate in Beaufort of 15.72 cents per kWh. Between SCE&G’s efforts and those of the Beaufort City Council, at 15.72 cents per kWh the city of Beaufort is a tiny island in all the Southeast that has the highest investor-owned electricity rates this side of New York, Michigan and California. It’s no secret that businesses seeking to relocate, or start-up, look at utility costs. It’s a line on every pro forma. The importance of the line to decision-making depends upon how much electricity the business is expecting to use. Law offices don’t use much electricity. Digital businesses use

DOLLARS PER KWH
After my previous column about the city of Beaufort’s recent economic development spending spree I received an email from a reader that went like this: “Look at chart 5.6A for correct info then make a correction in the paper. S.C is actually lower than most Eastern states.” A couple of things came to my mind. First, after reading that Beaufort’s general fund has increased by nearly a million dollars each year for the past seven years (from $13,913,341 to $19,387,961), and that the tax rate for city taxpayers – including businesses – has been raised virtually annually to pay for the new spending, and that to support the spending the city has imposed new fees too, and that the mayor who is leading the spending charge is also spending an additional quarter of a million dollars every four years to keep his $5,000-a-year job, what concerns this reader is that our electrical rates are lower than “most Eastern states?” To me, that’s akin to saying, “Okay, so Kim Jong-un now has workable nuclear warheads, but my information on his ballistic missiles aren’t as accurate as you say they are.” My next thought was … “most Eastern states?” What about Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and maybe Ohio? That’s who we’re competing against. The Northeast has been losing population and businesses for the past generation, and the high costs of living and doing business there are the leading reasons why. And finally, my bet was the reader was confusing South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCE&G) rates with the blended base rates of all the utilities serving South Carolina. In fact that’s exactly what the referenced “chart 5.6A” The website www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_gra-

To make complex (and boring) electrical base rates more understandable (and interesting) they are often shown in per thousand kilowatthour increments, as they are here, because a thousand kWhs is close to what a small household uses in an average month.

more. And manufacturing companies like those Beaufort would like to attract to its Commerce Park typically use even more. Yet in the 10 pages of adopted minutes that reflect the discussion of the 2-percent franchise fee surcharge at the Beaufort City Council’s June 3, 2014, special meeting, there is no reference to any discussion at that meeting of how the surcharge might affect the city’s economic development efforts. This city administration (Mayor Keyserling who is most often
joined in these votes by Councilmembers McFee and Murray) says it is committed to creating jobs so that Beaufort’s young people don’t have to move away to get good work. Sounds good. But the results haven’t matched up to the big talk (and big spending), and making the same mistakes New England has made probably won’t make things better. Blakely Williams, the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce’s savvy president and CEO, didn’t return repeated phone calls last
week. Why would she? The city of Beaufort is one of the chamber’s chief funders. The question I left on her voicemail was: “Hi Blakely. Just need a quick comment on the success or lack thereof of the city of Beaufort’s economic development efforts, the Commerce Park, the Digital Corridor, etc. …” Our mothers’ wisely taught us, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” The savvy Ms. Williams, it seems, learned her lesson better than this writer.

zens classified by the Bureau of the Census as moderate to low income. We have great pride in our special city, but we also have limited financial resources.
Furthermore, for some public assets to be improved, it is healthy for the citizens to have some skin in the game. A good example is the transformation of Southside Park, a former sewer treatment facility, into a neighborhood and community treasure. The city taking on a new 37-acre park around 2004 was ambitious and, accordingly, is taking longer than many of us wanted because the proposed estimated $2.5 million plan was more than the city could afford. Adding to the challenge was that once the city took over the site, we found tons, literally tons, of trash, construction debris and rubble buried underground that had to be removed. No doubt every project has its surprises, but the community came together as part of our “Great American Clean-up” project, and members of the Beaufort Parks & Tree Advisory Commission, the Beaufort Public Works Department, volunteers and students from the Beaufort High Interact Club, National Honor Society and ROTC all joined forces investing a total of 200 hours to collect about 3,000 pounds of debris from Southside Park. Using a generous grant from our state Palmetto Pride organization, we bought four steel waste receptacles, two of which were set inside the dog park and the other two in strategic locations near buildings in Southside Park and the public restroom. Total cost for the receptacles was $2,497. Finally the city Parks Department moved in, prepared the land and installed fencing for the dog park, which is finally completed. A grand opening will soon be scheduled. We hope you will help us celebrate. This leads us to a second example of collaboration for the public good. Fortunately, the Palmetto Pride grant funds allowed us to buy three pet waste stations, eight cases of liner bags for the new waste stations and the 12 already installed along the rails-totrails Spanish Moss Trail. Total cost for this pet waste solution was $2,381. Furthermore, the Rotary Club of the Lowcountry donated another six pet waste

stations for the Spanish Moss Trail. Once installed, there will be 18 pet waste stations along an almost 10-mile stretch of the popular walking and biking trail. The Spanish Moss Trail is a great gift from the Cox Family, which owns Clarendon Plantation; the Paths Foundation out of Atlanta; and the Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail with significant support from Beaufort County, the city of Beaufort and the town of Port Royal. Protecting it is our responsibility and fortunately, volunteers are coming through with commitments to keep it clean. Every year, the city of Beaufort fields complaints about pet waste, particularly in the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park and along the Spanish Moss Trail. We must do more to educate our community and visitors about how animal waste pollutes our waterways and can have health consequences for marine life and humans. A good first step, though, is to make it easier to properly dispose of dog waste throughout the city, including the Spanish Moss Trail. Thanks to our Palmetto Pride grant, the Great American Cleanup, and the help of our community, Beaufort is a cleaner and more attractive place to live and visit. Billy Keyserling Mayor, city of Beaufort
WINE
With and without: A real lesson in wine
Finally (and I'm not sure why this hasn't been done before now) this week we're going to do "sets" of wines. One of the easiest and best ways to learn some things is by comparison. With wines, it seems pretty obvious that by tasting two wines, side by side, the similarities and differences between them is much more noticeable. With tasting, we are able to ingest much more information than we can just by reading about them on a piece of paper. We get to see and feel differences, plus we also get smells and tastes. Way more for our brains to hang onto and to remember. And, let's face it, it's more fun. If we go back a lesson or two, we talked about unoaked Chardonnays. And, over the years, we've tasted others. So that our lesson today is as good as it can be, we need to review a bit. "Unoaked" is a style, not a quality, like filtered or unfiltered and with or without malolactic fermentation. In the world of Chardonnay, since that is predominantly where "unoaked" is used, the wines become lighter and crisper. More varietal flavors show in these wines. With unoaked Chards, we usually lose the creamy, buttery, vanilla components that come from time in wood barrels. Aging, in stainless steel or cement tanks, is still an option for unoaked winemakers. By letting their wines sit on their lees in tanks, additional flavors and textures can be augmented. Unoaked Chardonnays may not have the flavors and textures of wood, but there is no reason to expect unoaked to be plain or dull or boring, just different. Now, review done, our real work begins. We have several "sets" of wines to look at. What makes this lesson so good is the sets are two Chardonnays, both from the same winery. One is oaked and one is not. What a phenomenal way to learn the differences! And what a lot of fun. By yourself, or with friends, this is a great experience. (It will probably be best when you do your studying and tasting to keep the unoaked wine in your left-hand glass and the oaked in the right.) Our first set is from Columbia Crest Winery in Washington State. Their Grand Estate tier has both wines. The unoaked Chardonnay is made in stainless steel tanks. After harvest, the grapes are fed into membrane presses where the juice is quickly separated from the seeds and skins. Fermentation is cool and lasts 14 to 20 days. Partial malolactic fermentation is done and the wine does sit on its lees for a bit to build structure and enhance its mouth-feel. This wine is light-bodied with lemon seed, green mango and orange blossom notes. It has a lively acidity.
Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
The oaked Columbia Crest Chard is partially fermented in stainless steel - just 22 percent. The rest is fermented in barrels. All the wine in the barrels is stirred every week during its nine-month aging. Finished, this Chard has intense apple and melon flavors mixed with crème brulée, caramelized sugar and butterscotch. Buttery and creamy textures balance its acidity. Both for $8.99. Estancia in Monterey County, Calif., does both styles of Chardonnay, too. Its unoaked is also fermented in stainless steel. And, it benefits from the cool night temperatures in its vineyards that lets the grapes hang on their vines longer to develop more flavors. Uninhibited by oak, this wine dazzles with Asian pear, key lime, mango, pineapple, orange blossom and citrus aromas and flavors. Its acidity is crisp, with a touch of minerality. The oaked version of Estancia is more golden colored. The wine is aged in small oak barrels for eight months and half of it has been through malolactic. It has honey, tropical fruit, pineapple, peach, apple pie and caramel custard flavors and a lushness on your tongue. The unoaked goes for $9.99, oaked for $12.99. Also from California, and the Monterey area, Merlot Soleil does both styles of Chardonnay. For its unoaked wine, this winery chose to use a unique bottle style. This wine is called Silver, and it comes in a gray crock bottle. For sure, it stands out as something different. This is a heavier version of an unoaked Chard, round and layered in your mouth. It is deep yellow colored with intense aromas that include flower blossoms, pears and honeysuckle, with lots of Meyer lemon flavors added in. Its weight can mislead less experienced tasters into thinking it is oaked. But full and rich and lush is the Mer Soleil style, so both unoaked and oaked wines follow that. As much as the Silver is a stunning balance of acidity and lush flavors, the Mer Soleil Chard is too. Just more creaminess, more developed flavors, more weight on your tongue. Silver for $21.99, Merlot Soleil for $29.99. So, fun and knowledge. Not one without the other. And more new wines. Enjoy.
